Well here we are at our booth at the fair..Rose and John and I "cleaned up" on ribbons!!!
I got a blue ribbon on my little crocheted book with a yellow duck on it..
Rose got second place on her still life..
John got a blue ribbon on this still life..

Our 59th anniversary...

We are working at the fair in the ceramics and pottery booth. Rose won "best of show" in pottery...I got my first blue ribbon on a crocheted hat. JMB got a red ribbon on his "out of a box" entry. They haven't judged the paintings yet, but John and Rose are in competition in the "Still Life " division...
We went to Regas for lunch to celebrate...

We walked throughthe old cemetery across the road from the church...
After church we drove across the mountain. Gatlinburg was bumper to bumper traffic, but Townsend was quiet. We ate lunch at the Timbers in Townsend...
